What
is it about Jim Carrey that endears him to so many people?
His boyish charm? His
outlandish wit? Or could it be his utter lack
of fear, pushing him to go where others wouldn't dare? These are just some
of the questions we, the team here at BIOrhythm, were asked to ponder.
While pondering, we searched
endlessly for answers, because we knew that you, the highly emotive, extremely
intelligent, white-knuckled, remote-gripping audience, would not stand
for another dull, lifeless corpse of a biography show.

Our Carrey quest took us all
the way back to Jacksons Point, a small fishing village in Ontario, Canada.
It was there that 15-year-old Jim first decided he had to perform. But
it would be another 17 years before he would reign at the box office with
the hit movie Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. Would you believe that
at one time he was homeless, or that he was forced to drop out of school
so he could work as a janitor to help support his family? The man we love
to laugh at struggled and turned his life around through sheer guts and
determination. Take a trip through his very real dream world, from homeless
school dropout to the highest paid star in Hollywood.
All
righty, then!
